Jon Rahm decided not to go out this Friday afternoon at TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach (Florida, USA), home of The Players, considered the 'big fifth' of golf, to play the second round. The Biscayan man was afflicted at night with a medical problem of gastric origin. He passed it with gastroenteritis, vomiting and fever. After testing himself on the practice field before his departure time (6:56 p.m.), he was unable to play. The PGA Tour website gave him a WD (for withdraw, withdrawal in English) at about 6:30 p.m., and almost an hour later issued a note confirming the withdrawal, citing "illness."
Jon Rahm, statementsRahmbo, number one in the world ranking, closed the first round on Thursday with 71 shots for -1 and was going to play the second 18 holes of the event in a stellar match with Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler, the men who accompany him on the podium and that now it is very easy to dethrone him. They could be worth a seventh and fifth place respectively at the very least, and Scheffler closed sixth on Thursday, although McIlroy, who made +4, will have to fight the cut this Friday.
The inconvenience comes to Rahm at a bad time, submerged in an impressive streak, with three victories in six tournaments so far this year. The ninth-place finish of 2021 will remain his best finish at a Sawgrass that, like the Florida tour in general, turns its back on him to date. From what he has revealed so far, everything indicates that he only needs a few days of rest. If there is nothing else, it is possible to wait for him in the World Match Play that Austin (Texas) will host from the 22nd. Afterwards, the Masters.
Before the first major of the season arrives, the rest of the players present in the Florida field continue to pursue different objectives, although the main one is the 4.26 million euros that the winner of 'The Players' will win. After 36 holes, the fight for victory is bloody due to the tremendous equality that means that there are twenty players in just five or six shots apart, with Scheffler in full disposition to opt for victory. The one who had almost impossible to make the cut when the game was stopped due to the threat of imminent rain was McIlroy who thought for the Ponte Vedra field with very high green digits.
